Closing TypePad. Bye
I'm going to close this site for awhile. I'm getting rid of TypePad, finally, because I'm not gaining anything from it. Except spam. Lots of it. Because Squarespace is offering free Squarespace 6 sites for current users, I will likely re-launch this domain there. I'm not sure if it'll be... Continue reading

Feeling Sick
Had a pretty bad night Sunday and feeling sick because of it. Headaches and problems seeing; my eyes aren't clear. Reminds me of that Naruto: Shippuden Mangekyo Sharingan POV — but way less cool. Because my blurriness doesn't come with visual reality-altering jutsu. Had trouble sleeping, too. A lot of... Continue reading

Personal Blog
Still don't know what to do about this. Now that I've changed the theme and am more comfortable with Blogsy, this might be okay. But I get a lot of TypePad spam. Seems like TypePad has changed a lot across the past three years. The homepage looks completely different. I... Continue reading

Crazy spam at TypePad, Blogsy
(OLDER POST) Blogsy now works with Squarespace! I'm still deciding on blogging services, and I've been thinking about why I blog. I enjoy writing, and I like sharing ideas, and that's become harder as my disability has become more debilitating. Problems blogging For people using a desktop or notebook computer,...

Disneyland vacation
My trip was amazing. I've got some great advice for anyone with a disability interested in vacationing at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Stephanie and I spent five days in the park and two days traveling. I'll share some artwork, too. At the moment, I have catching up to... Continue reading

Random morning of
I've got a lot of driving ahead of me; presently, I'm not looking forward to it. I'll probably be in a great mood in a few days, but there's a lot of things going on that I don't like. Setting that aside — my condition is better... and worse. I've... Continue reading

Business not usual
My body is aching. Restless Leg Syndrome affecting me all over, even though I took ropinirole. I hope this is just a one-day occurrence, random... a fluke. Enough doom and gloom, yeah? I lost about ten pounds! And I guess 25 isn't old. (Couldn't tell that from the comments, though,... Continue reading

Performance and Process
Right now, I have my mind on my body. Also, US Open Grand Slam Tennis is in its second week; my favorite players are still in the mix (men's side, at least), and I'll be on vacation for my birthday. I created a new section at superfloo.us called "Health" that... Continue reading

Getting older; wiser, dumber, fatter, crazy
When I was a child, I dreamt every day about finally being an adult. There were so many things that I wanted to accomplish; I wanted to go places, create things, fall in love, sit in the Oval Office... Now I feel old. And it sucks. That's the problem with... Continue reading

Wunderlist Story
So the results are in — my story (previous post) was named as a "runner-up" in the Wunderlist story competition. The winner will receive an iPad 2 and smart cover. 6Wunderkinder stated that they'll send me a t-shirt and some stickers, but they don't yet have my address. Still love... Continue reading

Wunderlist helps with disability
I am physically disabled. I have chronic pain and feel physically sick most of the time. This kind of impairment, much like sleep-deprivation, can make following an everyday routine very challenging. Beyond “normal” things, I must remember medicines and supplements, to stretch for an hour or two, and to rest... Continue reading

Homefront: America in Chaos
With Independence Day one day away, days ago, Canada Day, and the Wimbledon men's final in the UK today, I hope and pray that we're doing okay. (Like that?) I am all right, but what about America her/itself? Watching the news recently has been more depressing than usual. Things are... Continue reading

Vertigo
A few days ago, I was struck suddenly and shockingly by vertigo. I'd been dizzy before, but never like this. It wasn't until after that I thought about the massive car accident that caused the traffic jam (photographed). I don't know what caused the collision, but I can imagine vertigo... Continue reading

Hypnotherapy
As part of my quest to heal and help others do the same, I'm going to study psychology and hypnosis. Related to this, I'm also looking at some paranormal/fringe science stuff, NLP and mentalism. That's mostly for fun, but as much as words can hurt, they can help heal. Thanks... Continue reading

OmmWriter Dana II Thoughts and Review
Thoughts on OmmWriter Dāna II, part one. First, I’d like to point out that I’m creating this blog entry using OmmWriter Dāna II, at the moment, [with the fourth font selected, the largest font option, the (first) chromatherapy background, music off (“Lost in Translation” movie soundtrack in the background, and...

Hurts
Keeping track of progress dealing with a disability is difficult due to the number of setbacks endured. I was playing around with the idea of responding to Macworld magazine's thoughts on the iPad 2 — my migraine and myoclonus however, severely limits my ability to do everything. Even simple things...

At a new point.
Kind of at this new point. I'm sitting in my car at the moment, typing on my iPhone. I'm waiting outside my doctor's office. Today however, I'm not here for me. I was writing a post for this blog three days ago; after several hours, it became quite obvious that... Continue reading

Wants
Living with constant pain frequently feels impossible. Life for me has been made easier by modern conveniences, Stephanie's help and the support of family and friends, but it is still very difficult. I've recently stumbled across a method of pain management that has been working well for me much of... Continue reading

A distinct change, Bradtastic redefined
I've been in Oakland for six years, the last five mark serious change. Year to year, my life was up, down and sideways during my attempts to build some form of stability that included persistent happiness. It hasn't been easy — I could simply say, "I have a chronic pain... Continue reading

As the world does what it does
The people of this planet continue to do screwy things. Keeping up with crime reports — even casually — is a full-day's effort... and then there's tomorrow. I won't start into politics, but there's one thing that I'd like to note. Law enforcement needs an upgrade; with modern technology and... Continue reading

Free time? Maybe someday.
I had thought that, with the Starcraft II event postponed, I'd have some time to really relax, but that's just not life at the moment. Recently, I've been dealing with project after project — every-so-often I remind myself to eat and rest my eyes. Throughout last week, any time not... Continue reading

I just finished writing a blog entry set to post today, 8:38am, at Superfloo.us — I hope you take the time to read it. It may appear long and technical — maybe it is — but it's important. If you take any form of art or entertainment seriously, I hope... Continue reading

Starcraft 2 Marine
Terran Marine for SC2 Bay Area event. I just thought that I'd share this with friends and family. This was created on my iPad using Sketchbook Pro. I'm thinking about enhancing it a bit — though I'm interested in creating another, perhaps a Hydralisk. Blizzard's set SCII release is just... Continue reading
